specific RGB question

Look what I got! :)

Yes that is a 27 inch RGB monitor... got it from a government surplus warehouse.

Here is where the questions begin...

Is that a standard connection? Do I need some sort of convertor to run my games on it? If so I'll talk to Matt I guess.

Err... whats his email address?

Thanks for the help... I can't wait to get this beast up and running.

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Oh yeah, I only paid $10.00 for it :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Looks like you have a 34-pin RGB analog pinout, same as me.

I have no way of knowing whether the pin layout is the same as the Sony monitor I use, though. If Matt or anyone else is going to build a custom cable for it, they'll need to have a pinout diagram. See if you can find one on the 'Net.

People and their #$@%$#% luck... I swear to Christ.

Nice one, though. Enjoy...

Cool, let us know how the picture is when you get the neccessary cables hooked up.

Nice find! Surprising what some people consider trash, eh?

It looks like it's got the usual Sony 34-pin RGB input (it is a Sony, right?). That's the connector that Sleeve's monitor and my own monitor use. It shouldn't be hard to get it hooked up.

Do you know your screen's model number by chance?

Send me an e-mail if you'd like me to build you some hookups - my address is the_matthew@yahoo.ca :)

Damn you 88!

Damn you...

Yes Korly... damn me. On the bright side, if I can get this working I may be willing to sell you my old RGB monitor.

I am at Tilt on friday... stop by.

P.S. Matt... check your PMs.

For some reason I can no longer send email.

Someone hold him down whilst I punch him in the kidneys.

It's fun to know people pay 1/5 the price for two times the monitor, eh?

Bear in mind, it may not work at all.

If it works, you are all invited to come hang out in my basement. :)
